Your Tasks
In the next three days, I expect each of you to:
1. Contribute new content to your Topic page on the NetGenEd Wiki
You should add to both the Overview section and your Team section (1A, 2B, etc.)
2. Collaborate by improving the content that other students have added to your Topic page on the NetGenEd Wiki
You can edit the writing to make it more clear, add contextual hyperlinks where appropriate, etc.
3. Communicate with your teammates about everything you're doing
You must add a post to the discussion page after every edit; indicate your team in the subject line (see examples here on the ebooks discussion page)
Suggested Steps to Follow
Here are some things that will help you accomplish your work (do these in whatever order seems useful to you):
Read over your Topic page on the NetGenEd Wiki to see what's already there, what needs to be added, etc.
Pay careful attention to the Essential Questions (gray boxes), Overviews of each section (italics), and guiding questions under each heading
Talk to the other 1 or 2 students in this class who are working on the same technology topic
See the Team Matrix if you're not sure who they are :)
Read the information about your technology trend in the 2011 Horizon Report and the addition resources mentioned/linked by the report
Read about your Net Gen norm in Grown Up Digital by Don Tapscott (books are in the box on the counter)
Research your technology trend on Diigo:
Search the entire Diigo community (go back to "My Library" and use the search box top right)
Research your technology trend and/or your Net Gen norm on the web (I'll show you some strategies for using Google more effectively when I get back)
Use the technology topic pages here on our class wiki to draft your writing (if you want to) before adding it to the NetGenEd wiki
Important Reminders
Important Reminder #1: When you are writing, keep track of your sources (using Diigo) - I will show you how to add wiki-style citations later this week!
Important Reminder #2: When you save and share resources to the Diigo group, be sure to use the standard tags for the project:
